Sparta will not start after update 2019.3 2019.4 (not qtwebkit issue)

[ifly53e]

Installed new Kali gnome 2019.3 iso onto bare metal. Performed apt -y full-upgrade. Tried to run Sparta from both application menu and command line. Sparta will not start. Is anyone else seeing this?

root@kali:~# which sparta
/usr/bin/sparta
root@kali:~# sparta
The program 'python' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 68 error_code 2 request_code 1 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
